Lying and Killing - Plan Dalet - from 1948. Its Ever Greater Depths of Evil Now

Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh writes from Bethlehem. He includes victims in Gaza with whom he keeps in contact.

He refers to the murder of Dr Soma, Ramzi Baroud's dear sister. And know this family grew up in poverty in the world's largest concentration camp. Around 2006, the Assistant 'Defence' Minister Matan Vilnai promised a shoah - an holocaust on the humans in Gaza.  That is the mass killing of humans by humans ie willfully.

Mazin's words are here https://popular-resistance.blogspot.com/2024/10/death-of-sister-and-personal-reflection.html  His piece describing the perpetual injury and killing of Palestinian's, described by 'General' Zeevi as cockroaches. As Gideon Levi (bcc) has said, and it is widely acknowledged, 'de-humanisation' is necessary for the human with dominant weapons to kill and maim innocents. In October of 2003, when I returned to Gaza for the second of ten times - with Neil Young journalist. one in every three young men we spoke with in Rafah bore wounds from the fascist jailers.

Dr Soma is pictured, in hijab and duffle coat. Her kindness and humanity shines out. I weep.  I am writing to the responsible officer - one David Lammy tomorrow, to remind him as I have  done Sir Keir Starmer, that he is complicit in this holocaust, grafted on to a 76 year long genocide. The government he represents abroad is silent whilst children die of starvation, but unlike those shown when Bergen-Belsen was opened up, there are no images of these mites in the most execrable 'western' press.

A Message from Our Editor Ramzy Baroud, in Memory of his Beloved Sister Who was Assassinated this Evening in Gaza

(David. This was written by Ramzi Baroud, the editor of the Palestine Monitor on the 9th of October. We here, part of the Resistance to this centre of fascism, join Ramzi and his family in tears for the loss of dear ones who were steadfast in their love for their people and for their despoiled land - truly a land formerly of 'milk and honey'. The Palestinian has love in their hearts for all, especially dear children.

The enormity of Zionist evil, the zenith of fascism, is plain though concealed in the illusory democracies of the west by the withering power of a most execrable 'press', both broadcast eg the ZBC, the 'State Broadcaster, and print eg  the 'Guardian', Mail, Sun etc.)

The Resistance grows ever stronger and wider against the most terrible death throes of regional and global fascism.

Ramzi -

Early this evening, Israel killed, or more accurately assassinated, my sister Dr. Soma Baroud, by bombing her taxi in the Khan Yunis area, killing her and six other innocent people.She was the kindest soul, a great mother and a most loving sister.

She was a member of a generation of female doctors that revolutionized medicine in the Strip.She healed many people, never charged the poor and until the last day of her life remained principled, loving, kind and patient, even when Israel blew up her house a few weeks ago.

I don’t know what else to say, aside from the fact that I suddenly feel as if a child who became orphaned all over again. She was a leader of our family, and fulfilled the role of our mother who died at a young age.I am sorry, sister, that I could do nothing to protect you.

I feel deep shame that I live in the very country that paid for and made the bombs that killed you.When the numbness is gone, I will try to stay strong only driven by the hope that we will meet again in Paradise.
